company drills will be the main feature of the
week. Stxty-eight companies have entered
for these contests, but 1t Is not expected
in competition It is fortunate that this is So for
II all entered should come TO time It would not be
possible to conduct all the drills within tne week
Past experience has shown, however, that many
who expected TO participate are apt TO drop out at
the last moment when they realize that 1t VIII be
ganizaton with whose abilities they are perfectly
conversant. The company contests will neyerthe-
less be the most numerous, and, probably, the
most interesting, and much more care Is necessary
in preparing the program Tor them.
HOW THE DRILLS ARE MANAGED.
What the tests will be nobody knows but the
Judges and their Information will not be conveyed
to anyone until Monday morning. The tests will
be alike for all companies and Is therefore neces
sary that the companies which drill later In the
week shall be no better informed as to what Is ex-
pected OF them than those who appear upon the
sa,s Tns ofsT ~ q the &c
hour before the drill is TO commence the captain OF
the company first to drill will be called before the
having n nrst nowever signed pledge s that he viii
keep inviOlate the secret confded to him. He is
bound, on his honor, not to give the slightest
information OF the tests TO any man in his COM
pany, or to any other person, directly or
Indirectly, and his men are bound by honor not to

breach Of faith by the men, some Of whom
might witness in disguise drill, but the company
would not be materially benefited unless they
had some practice collectively In the movements
to be gone through with. The nle closers and
sergeantS would be benefited somewhat by
having an opportunity to think over what would
be required OF them. Nothing OF the kind is an
ticipated, however. Each succeeding company
Will be treated In exactly the same manner. Their
respective captains will be informed exactly one
hour before hand what Is expected OF their CON-
mands, so each company Will appear on the drill
ground In dense ignorance OF what Is expected ol
them.
RH0nHNfAL AND BATTALION DRuLA
The other contests win not require the same
amount Of secrecy. The regimental drills win b
decided by inspection In parade and review. The
battalion drills viii be judged by the precision Of
battalion movements. Each battalion VIII consist
OF four or nve companies, ana there win be NJ
need Of keeping them In ignorance Of what they
will have TO do. The wheels proper distances
line OF march, and all that Is re
Qutred Of troops marching In body
win be taken into consideration and the prizes
win be awarded TO those who average the best
The individual drills win be extremely interest,

petitor will have 70 90 through the regulator
